Created and written by Mark Gaitan (RelateOne) — credited on the cover as Rela Teone — and held within Digital Hoarder Media.
The concept
In The Soul Trade, power isn't earned — it's taken, bartered, and sold. When greed-driven corporations and hidden societies control the world from the shadows, a small crew discovers an ancient truth: the system survives because people trade what they can't see… their souls.
What begins as a fight for survival evolves into a larger war against an underground network that feeds on fear, division, and human potential.
This is the first book in a connected series that expands into a world of resistance, awakening, and rebellion.
